The Seahawks acquired Pryor from the Oakland Raiders in April for a seventh-round draft pick, intrigued by the third-year pro’s blend of size (6-foot-6, 240 pounds) and speed. Pryor came into training camp as possible competition for backup quarterback Tarvaris Jackson, but his performance in the preseason didn’t warrant a roster spot as the team’s No. 3 QB.

Pryor ended the preseason completing 21 of 39 pass attempts for 281 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. He also ran for 97 yards on 16 carries, the bulk of which came on a 44-yard touchdown run in the Hawks’ second preseason matchup against San Diego.

The 25-year-old entered the league with Oakland as a third-round pick in the 2011 supplemental draft and started 15 games over three years with the Raiders.
